I'm Jess | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hello, my name is Jess! I was born and raised here in Chicago and have lived with cats my entire life :) I'm currently living in Albany Park. I've got a cute little Honda Insight and am looking to stay within a 5-10 mile drive of the area. My schedule is pretty flexible as I work fully remote & have the ability to pop in and out of the house for the majority of my day. Outside of Meowtel, I work as a Software Engineer for Chewy. Working at Chewy has given me the opportunity to gain a huge breadth of knowledge about what it takes for our lovely fur babies to thrive. My colleagues – who range from passionate cat parents to practicing veterinarians – are people who have guided me in my own pet parent journey and who continue to teach me something new about cats constantly. I have my own kitty, a rescue tortie from ARF Illinois named Nao who loves to talk (and yell!) and get herself into trouble around the house. I loved watching her personality begin to shine through as she grew more comfortable in her new home. In the same way, I'm super excited to get to ...

Frequently Asked Questions
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
